“The world is dabbling with something very dangerous right now,” warned John Oliver at the conclusion of his last Last Week Tonight main story of the year on Sunday. No, not our near-universal obsession with Bradley Cooper’s new version of A Star Is Born. Sure, that’s hyperbolic and a little weird, but basically…
To the uninitiated, Syfy’s adaptation of The Magicians can be a pretty weird and baffling thing. The show will be coming back for a new season in January, and as laid out in this handy Deadline post about the latest Magicians trailer, the series is coming off of a third season that saw magic itself being shut down and…
Lately, the Good Place cast has been making it clear that their super-good show is also super-fun to make, with Jameela Jamil posting some behind-the-scenes videos a few days ago of her and the rest of the cast trying to teach Ted Danson how to dance, but D’Arcy Carden showed everybody how it’s done with a series of…
So far, it looks like Frasier is the only TV show that the original creators want to bring back but cannot, due to Kelsey Grammer’s inability to come up with a good justification for the return of Frasier Crane, but now we’ve got another older TV show that the original creator doesn’t want to bring back—at least until…
YouTube has had free “movies” for years, most of them ripped from somebody’s DVD copy with a bizarrely cropped video and poorly synced audio (and they even used to be chopped up into 10-minute chunks), but lately the video site has been adding actual legal content that users can buy in order to make it more…
With former The Office star, current dramatic leading man, and three-time host Steve Carell in the house for last night’s Saturday Night Live, several audience members couldn’t help but pester him during his monologue about when/if a rumored reboot of the classic-for-most-of-its-run NBC series was happening.…
Look, we get it: It’s 2018, life is stressful, half the planet’s on fire, and sometimes you just want to chill out by looking at a bunch of super-cool toilets that look like they could pull double duty (hey-o) as the cover image for a YouTube compilation of synth and jazz-heavy vaporwave tracks.
Rising star Timothée Chalamet—of last year’s critical darling Call Me By Your Name, and the recent addiction drama Beautiful Boy—has come a long way in the last few years, but he hasn’t quite reached the point in his development toward superstardom where he can breeze his way through a big late-night interview segment…
Inviting us all to, once again, contemplate how our bodies are unceasing shame factories—and the way that’s actually kind of beautiful, if you really think about it—Netflix confirmed today that Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett’s animated hormone comedy Big Mouth will be back for a third…
Earlier this week, A Song Of Ice And Fire author/professional getting-yelled-at-by-the-internet man George R.R. Martin finally came clean about his struggles with finishing The Winds Of Winter, the sixth novel in the bestselling, franchise-launching book series. Now it sounds like he’s officially buckling down to get…
Out of all of the things made possible by Disney’s acquisition of the Star Wars brand back in 2012, few have been as highly anticipated—or as fraught with the potential for fuck-ups—as the chance to see what its famed Imagineers could do with a Wars-themed “Land” at the company’s parks. The end result of that effort…
Determined, as ever, to speak truth to (elaborate, uncomfortable shrugging gesture), HBO talk show host/occasional HR bullet point Bill Maher wrote an editorial this weekend going after those who have well and truly destroyed American society: fans of the late Stan Lee. And while we might suggest that “less than a…
Reminding us all that they don’t exist solely to grimdark up karaoke nights, or periodically let Paul Ryan know how much he sucks, the members of Papa Roach announced a new album tonight—their tenth, for those of you who haven’t been keeping careful track of the “Papa Roach discography” page on Wikipedia. To celebrate…
Ensuring that we’ll have to spend yet another year laboriously typing out every damn period in Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. whenever the topic of still-extant superhero shows comes up, ABC announced today that it’s already ordered up a seventh season of the long-running MCU spin-off series, before its sixth has…
A Japanese anime collector has just helped fill in one of the missing pieces of Western animation history, as THR reports that Disney has recovered footage of one of its “lost” animated shorts, featuring the company’s most beloved and popular character: Oswald The Lucky Rabbit.
Alright, filmmakers and old-school Saturday Morning Cartoon Crusaders, this is it. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. General Mills has put out an official call for all aspiring actors, filmmakers, agents, “tastemakers, dealmakers, movers, and shakers” in hopes of making their cereal-box monsters the next…
Although the seven years since Friday Night Lights went off the air have been justifiably great for Connie Britton—including starring roles on shows like 9-1-1, Nashville, American Horror Story, and, most recently, Bravo’s Dirty John—they’ve been a lot harder on those of us with a criminally weak grasp on the…
Having spent more than a decade of his professional life in close proximity to one of Hollywood’s most treasured sources of narcissistic, self-obsessed excess, former Two And A Half Men star Jon Cryer is ready to put his real-world supervillain internship experience to work. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Cryer has just…
College is supposed to be a time of learning and open-mindedness, where one can explore and experiment with new ideas and new concepts. Of course, that’s only if you conform to the NPR-approved prevailing campus world-view. Sadly, the campus thought-police are at it again, and this time they’re taking away one of our…
There’s no clear frontrunner in the Spirit Awards nominations, which were announced today, but rather a handful of disparate features duking it out in the major categories. The ceremony, which celebrates U.S. films produced for less than $20 million, will see Bo Burnham’s touching coming-of-age comedy Eighth Grade, …
